To this day, fire trucks are still responding
lol, nice one Nubby G.
🏆
start a fire elsewhere while 5 trucks are here
This is actually a fire apparatus parade with a structure fire side show.
I'm dead 😂😂😂
Nah they just put the aid in mutual aid lol
By the amount of aerial's they had you would of thought is was a commercial building. Only thing missing was a tower.
Boys and their toys.
Looks like a commercial/residential building.
There was a tower seen near the end
You could use a few more rigs there probably. Ya think
They could use one or two real firefighters there probably!
I think it is wonderful how several departments come to the scene and work together to put the fire out. It would make me feel protected to have that response in a rural area. I live in suburban Dallas Tx. and a couple of weeks ago my neighbor had a small kitchen fire. In a mater of just a few minutes, five fire trucks, one ambulance, and three police units. Makes me feel good to have that. Great work to all firemen everywhere, we couldn't live without you.
I think I'm the only one who didn't respond to this
nah you were...i seen you
Good God. What units are covering the rest of the state. LOL
Those fans on the fire truck is so cool
Where is the water for the fire?
Im confused, was this a fire, a fire muster, or a commercial for Roto-ray?
Thanks guys!
For what? Burning gas and showing up? Because there was no fire Fighting here!
Wow, a slow day to get that many pieces of equipment !
Is that the fire captians house for the large response? To this day, fire trucks from all around are still responding.
good job guy and gals, thank you for your service
I think I saw like...47 fire trucks ??
Legend has it engines are still responding to a 2 truck fire
Great job on videos thanks.
incredible videos
Thanks!
**house burning** takes videos of 30 fire trucks responding instead of the house on fire....
This guy shoots a lot of fire video around here, and they are all like that....he's got a fire engine fetish.
out of curiosity why don't they have a trash line on the front bumper or side of truck they could pull quickly and get water flowing with the onboard water while everyone else is getting setup or water established?
That would be too easy Aaron .
And spoil all their FUN by doing the JOB too quickly?
What took so long to get water on the fire?
It appeared to take a long time to get the initial water on the fire. You had 4 pieces of apparatus on location before water was applied.
If you actually paid attention and weren’t an armchair QB, you would realize there was water on the fire before I ever started recording the scene. Try understanding the fact you can’t see the entire scene before you make a stupid comment. Have a good day.
@@Rainman14 Then why wasn't the fire, front and center, extinguished before your video started? Like within one minute of arrival?
@@JB91710 Because the hoseline was operating inside the structure, you can see it on the ground at the start of the video. Im guessing they hit it on the way in and it just flared back up while they were interior. You're liable to push smoke and heat into the structure hitting that from the outside only.
@@Nervegas You shouldn't say things like that. Followers may tend to Just believe you and that's how ignorance spreads. ua-cam.com/play/PLkp0E1ao1XEzg384QZ4ovMA_6P7gCY3nJ.html
@@Nervegas
If you’re an idiot you will!
A fog pattern will do that however a STRAIGHT stream or just crack open the nozzle will work.
Salute to the chief for putting in roof work!!! Much respect!!!
Our one fire truck in the little town I live in has a Jake break and it sounds good on that fire truck lol
Holy crap lots of apparatus in the response!!!
How many fire trucks does one need for a small fire. Fire is under control and units still running hot.
Being an armchair fire fighter for 20 years and 10 as a chief I would have to wonder if they had enough trucks.
Was this some kind of appliance convention ? Certainly not well organised , numerous appliances turning up. Men cutting holes in porch from the roof, with another man working underneath. Then two firemen on the porch roof with fire in wall and having to reach through broken window to get a line . Bit like a Benny Hill sketch.
Hose Water ! Water on fire ! Please water on fire ! Water puts the fire out !
At least we all got to see all the prwtty fire trucks.
I read a lot of comments on the number of pieces at this fire. Very few if any of these companies have a fully paid crew. Some have a daytime paid driver ONLY. Some don't have that. They are volunteers, and this is during the day. Pennsylvania has over 1,000 municipalities of every size, and the counties do NOT run the fire service. Most every little burg or township has a fire company. There are over a dozen rigs to get enough firefighters to do the job.
Training can be spotty, and most rigs do not turn a wheel even once a day.
Dave You may have a point. But still someone must have alerted all these rigs. A compare: where I live for a fire like that (depending on the information from the call to 911) first 2 rigs holding together 6 voulenteer fire fighters (1 normal team) and 1 scene commander would respond. Then depending on the judgement from the scene commander might request an additional team to assist.
That hose sure got around. Were they short of lines? Great comments guys.
Why is the guy venting the porch? Not sure how that improves the ventilation situation :)
Write this up in a white paper and submit for our review. Are you still working at the manure slurry depot?
@@RLTtizME This still doesn't address the question... what is the point of vertical ventilation on the front porch? Were they trying to access some of the fire in the walls or something???
@@medmark Yes but not sometimes.
I'm wondering how many of the responders were volunteers. And if they were, this would be an opportunity to use their skills/equipment.
You would think it was a 10 alarm fire,not something that you could put out with 5-6 trucks vs.20
Good one Sucker......D*cks can not be rehabilitated. Sorry sweetie.
Please tell me this was a live burn! No way a real fire company would do this kind of damage to a rubbish fire on the front porch. I have never seen someone vent a exterior porch roof.
He was wearing a white helmet… Just sayin’! LOL
Except the fire spread thru the porch roof and into the wall of the actual building.
I think the only things that didn't respond were the fire boat and water bomber!
Deck gun on initial knowing u had a ton of water coming? Would put a serious knock on it?
awesome catch of the fire
Thanks!
I don't believe there was this much fire equipment at the "9-11"site!
That Mt. Penn tiller boy that idle horse a beast
Team America fire department over here
What State is this in and at the 2:30 mark is that a former FDNY truck?
This is southeastern Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia.
Not former FDNY, to the best of my knowledge. The department is Mount Penn Borough, neighboring Reading, PA. The Reading department (paid, city-run) has always had tiller ladders for the narrow streets. Reading uses this FDNY style paint scheme. Apparatus is a Seagrave.
No IC so the trucks keep on being paged out. The next state is going to have to move up. No one could just open the windows. No TIC so cut the roof apart.
Leave them alone…they probably only get 1 fire a year!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@FloridaCatholicGuy
What are they waiting for ….
Looks like overkill on the fire apparatus and the way the building look they probably should have just let it burn down, looks like an eye sore.
How do you get all the footage?
With a camera
Go big or go home! They brought the whole town on scene.
Got enough trucks onsite?
Opened the roof? Cmon man
I could see maybe an inspection hole over the porch, but why the vert hole on the roof. Take a window or two on the second floor, theres you ventilation.
Yeah a lot of Equipment but, If it would have gotten into that Attic the whole Building would have went...fast
Exactly.
That's what they were hoping for based on their complete lack of performance.
holly marry mother of over response batman, was a training day interrupted or something?
You mean “ Holy Mary”? 😂
Please just one more apparatus
That’s a fucking jawb if I’ve ever seen one!
7 fire trucks!
There’s a new concept in firefighting that these guys could have used. You can actually put water on fire to put it out.
13’ in and no one made the hydrant?
Hydrant was connected and charged before I even started recording, see the green line a minute in? Don’t make a stupid comment next time.
There is no way this isn’t volunteers.
WHY SO MANY FIRE TRUCK'S?
all them firetrucks but no water
que?
Save the rocking chairs!!
Wtf that’s 2nd alarm responses possible 3rd
Too bad they didn’t have enough fire trucks responding.
Better to have to many than not enough I guess.
This structure looked like a total loss before the fire. Not one clip of water until eleven minutes in . They used it like they didn't have much.
Water was on the fire before I even hit record, sorry my camera doesn’t have X-Ray vision so you can see all the work being done inside.
@@Rainman14 Did they save the home? Doubt it. Google maps shows the home intact October 2021 prior to the fire. Lots of stuff out front that could have been the location of where the fire started. They had more trucks at that one house fire than they had when my condo building went up. What's it look like now?
The house was saved and It has been fixed up. Unsure if it’s reoccupied yet.
@@Rainman14 wow , that is unbelievable . It had to have been gutted .Did they determine cause?
I have not heard of a cause no.
🚒🌊🚒🌊👍😆
It took that many apparatus for one structure fire mise well call the whole county surrounding it.
"Mise" isn't a word. And you've clearly never fought a fire before.
@@ffjsb I actually have more than you. And you're just trying to find a way to start shit you know nothing about. I my typing has nothing to do with me being a firefighter. So, before you run your mouth come up with something better than my words lmao.
@@CalebsLifestyle Kid, no you don't. Let me know when you have nearly 40 years on the job, and a major in Fire Science. Putting your gear on in 48 seconds doesn't make you any kind of an expert.
And if you had any common sense, you wouldn't have your turnout gear in your living room... Unless you've never had them in a fire....
@@ffjsb if you think a structure fire with only 2 lines operating needed that many apparatus, you clearly don’t know anything about fighting fires. That was overkill, no other way about it. Tiller? For what? You already have a ladder for venting.
@@nubbyg9096 All you idiots bitching about how much apparatus was sent, and not a fucking thing about any techniques....
I couldn't give a fuck about how many apparatus they sent. And evidently you don't know that you get extra companies for RIT, including ladders. It has nothing to do with ventilation. It was a fire with entrapment, and probably no good water supply. Are they just supposed to piss on the fire???
They set their run cards the way they want to set them for a reason. And I'll take extra apparatus over a couple of crews busting their asses alone ANY DAY.
A working pancake alarm
What did I just watch.?? When I ffw and saw a chief on a balcony “venting” a balcony I quit. This is abyssal… need a basic tactics class.
You know chainsaws have many other purposes than venting, one great example of another purpose is overhaul!
They must get paid by the call…. I mean what the hell did they think was burning a skyscraper??
Another commenter that doesn't know anything about firefighting...
@@ffjsb I’ve forgotten more about firefighting than you will ever know.
@@ronbradley5631 I seriously doubt that. Let me know when you have nearly 40 years on the job an a major in fire science.
@@ffjsb all that and you still don’t know how to fight fire… impressive.
@@ffjsb you still going on about 40 years? This was a small structure fire with 14 major pieces of apparatus.
Who is protecting the rest of the State?
Chief: I NEEE MORE COWBELL DISPATCH…. “Send everyone in the state to this location”
I'm confused ,,,Is this video about a fire or about fire trucks ,I know if i was 7 years old this would be a great vid.
Hold On Boys, The Trucks From Illinois Are Still On The Way!!!!!!! WTF?
Too long to get water on the fire. Just the truth. Don't get defensive, as usual.
Water was on the fire before I even got on scene. Don’t make stupid armchair quarterback comments, as usual.
@@Rainman14 Yeah, defensive. Thought so.
Well when you’re blatantly wrong… yeah lol.
what's with the gay ass spinning lights on the front of these rigs.....and how long does it take to get an attack line or 2 flowing.....wtf
Those front rotating lights are called Roto-Rays. Originally named Buckeye Roto ray lights. Designed and used back in the 1020s-30s before beacons were created. Last few years they’ve become popular again all over the USA. Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma a recently retired fire chief though they were cool looking and had them installed on all new apparatus.
@@BW12149 but what are they for? hypnotizing on coming traffic to stop?
Too many cut aways and fade outs. This is more like a highlights video then anything else. Next time just post the entire video (raw footage) so the viewer does not miss anything. You also show more of the fire trucks then the actual fire itself.
2:40, that is NOT the proper way to display the American flag. It's disrespectful because the flag is going to get loaded with dirt and start to look like crap. If you want to display the flag, get a nice flag decal or paint it on the side so it can be easily cleaned. Cloth flags should only be displayed at the front of a vehicle and only for parades or ceremonies.
I know they want to be patriotic, but it should be done in the RIGHT way.
Same for Engine 7, that's not the way to do it.
Oh relax yourself.
@@derfregas5968 Another IGNORANT TROLL heard from.
I'd write them a strongly worded letter. Tell them the biz! A strongly worded e-mail is also acceptable.
@@derfregas5968 I like the way that was worded, I have to remember that.
Video was a joke and these so called firefighters need more professional training
All those m/a companys to firewere they all vol depts
Do these guys just intentionally show up unprepared like they just aren't interested in saving these properties...🤔
How exactly were they "unprepared"...?
Let’s face it -us
fireman haven’t got a clue How to fight fires so-called venting only makes it worse
These jokers cause more damage than the fire break every window in the house Cut bloody great holes in the roof’s causing
Updraughts
I hear you say but it
gets rid of the heat
And smoke oh yeah but is replaced Flames
They spend more time walking around with Chainsaws circular saws and hook poles why don’t they try using hoses to put the bloody fire out
But that’s what you get when you build your houses out of wood what a joke
Says the muppet who's never even set in a firehouse let alone worked an actual fire
(cue the claims of "I'm a firefighter of XX years and a Captain Chief Master 2nd class")
🤣😂😅
